Intercontinental Cup XVI - Day 4

Chinese Taipei beat Korea 9-7 in twelve innings.

Yung Chi-Chen (WI '05) was 1-for-6, but that one hit was a seventh inning Grand Slam for Taiwan.

Italy lost 8-7 to Australia in thirteen innings.

Alex Liddi (WI '06) was 2-for-7 with a double and an RBI for the Italians. Also, Liddi has been playing first base during the tournament.

Checking in on the Phillippines, they got crushed by Cuba 24-0. Cuba scored 15 runs in the first inning. Phillippine starting pitcher Ernesto Binarao gave up eight hits, two walks, and ten runs in 1/3 of an inning. Ouch.

One thing that I've noticed on the boxscores for the Intercontinental Cup, three official scorers!

From Italy vs. Australia:

SCOREKEEPER(S) : SANTOS, SUSANA (ESP); HUANG, FU-YING (TPE), WANG, SHIH-SUNG (TPE)



From Korea vs. Chinese Taipei

SCOREKEEPER(S) : DROST, FEIKO (NED); HUANG, FU-YING (TPE), HUANG, HSIN-CHANG (TPE)

Picture that conversation.
Scorer No. 1: Hit.
Scorer No. 2: E-3.
Scorer No. 1 & Scorer No. 2 look at Scorer No. 3
Scorer No. 3: E-3!
Scorer No. 2: Exactly!
Scorer No. 1: You're NUTS! No WAY was that an E-3.
Scorer No. 2 & Scorer No. 3. YOU'RE NUTS! He should have had it!
Scorer No. 1 throws a pencil at the ceiling of the pressbox and spends the next three innings muttering to himself.


Day 5 Schedule:
REST DAY

Nice picture of Intercontinental Stadium from the REST DAY site. Very restful.
